Show From Pine Bulge. f, . Pine Ridge, S. D., Jan. 9. Yesterday Yester-day afternoon all the commands in the field were ordered to march from three to six miles nearer the hostiles. Late last night the order was put into effect. At intervals of two or three days the cordon will be drawn more tightly around the hostiles until they agree either to come in peaceably or be forced into submission. They disp.ay a dis- Sosition' to accept overtures of Gen. files that 'is - susceptible of but one ' t- ' interpretation and that, is . that they propose to surrender and retain their arms or die in their defense. This is backed up by the fact that a majority of those who have come in - from the hostiles are squaws and children, who desired to get out of the way. The coming in of Red Cloud is variously interpreted, his good faith being doubted. |
